Government statistics showed the | cost-of-living at a new post-war| high and still climbing. A labor spokesman, C. I. O. Vice | President Emil Rieve, accused the) National Association of Manufac-| turers of going back on its pledge! to work for lower prices if O. P. A.| were discontinued. Mr. Rieve called on congress for immediate restoration of price ceilings and rationing of certain scarce goods. Blame Wages, Strikes The N. A. M. replied that labor's “threé rounds of general wage in-| creases In the past year and the| direct loss through strikes of more | than 30 million man-days of production since last November” directly responsible : for

prices up.

The N. A. M also criticized what | it termed the justice department's intimation yesterday that current high prices are the result of erim-

inal conspiracy.

It referred to Lhe dorimends all-out campaign against conspir-| acies to increase food, Slouiing and |

housing prices.
